In midst of rough time. Have been on Lamictal with no relief. Prozac has been increased from 60mg to 80mg and Triliptal

Hi,

Your message wasn't very clear. I am on Trileptal. But anything that I have experienced wont necessarily have any similarity to what you are experiencing. Everyone is different in how their bodies respond to medications, and how long it takes to feel the effects of the meds. If you let me know exactly what your question is, I will try and help you figure it out. It took me a while to get stabilized after I started taking trileptal. I was rapid-cycling for the first couple of weeks.

good luck,

I was on Trileptal. I got neasuea, swollen legs, feelings of a washed out feeling! The reason I found out later was my sodium was getting lower & lower! Just keep track of side effects! Other than that I felt it helped!

Good luck on it!

Hi There,

Welcome to the boards, you've found a home.

I agree with Polarized had the same reaction.

I am on Lamictal. It's my miracle drug. I take 75Mgs once a day in the morning. My PDr. added Trileptal for a few months but I was getting to racey and rapid cycling.

Our bodies all react to meds in different ways. Stay in close contact with your PDr. and hopefully you will find the right "cocktail" that works for you.

Don't give up, we're here for you
